Lawyer Yasmeen Soh Sha-Nisse, a member of Wan Ramli Wan Seman’s legal team, said the matter would be heard before High Court judge Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid.

Soh, however, said it was unclear at this juncture if the attorney-general (AG) would oppose Wan Ramli’s leave application.

“The AG’s representative can appear to object or support the leave application in order for the merit of the case to be heard,” she said.

Wan Ramli, who filed the application last month, wants a court declaration that his early termination on Aug 4 is null and void and of no effect.

The applicant, who was with the Royal Malay Regiment’s 24th battalion based in Rasah Camp in Negeri Sembilan, was only scheduled to be discharged on Jan 20, 2023.

His service was terminated in August over four alleged offences under the Armed Forces Act 1972.

He will also lose his pension, for which he would have qualified in another 16 months.

As a citizen and member of the Armed Forces, Wan Ramli said his right under Articles 5(1) and 8(1) of the Federal Constitution had been violated.

Because of the dishonourable discharge from service, he said he had lost his right to pension under Article 147 which is a proprietary right protected by Article 13(1).
